Bailin' Hay

A stellar weekend is underway with ample sunshine and more than our fair share of early summer warmth. A stray afternoon thundershower is not impossible today. Despite it being unseasonably warm, humidity levels stay in check so that is helpful. It will be towards the end of next week before there's some heat relief and hopefully (maybe) some showers. Grill on!

Forecast Discussion

There's not too many ways to spin this forecast. An upper ridge of high pressure has settled over the Southeast promoting excessive heat and no organized rainfall. The ridge flattens mid-week and allows a subtle front to move through from the west Thursday night or Friday. We'll definitely cool off SOME behind the front which is easy to say, but we're talking 6-days from now. A few showers accompany the frontal passage Thursday.

In the meantime enjoy the sunshine and dry conditions. Your local watering-hole is going to be a popular place!
